Although the image is funny and we would probably make fun of a friend who sent us this, it is kind of fun to see how people react to the things we can make up using chat and text messages on our smartphones. Whales are awesome creators and super easy to make and share with friends. …
Abomination: A thing that causes disgust or hatred. A feeling of hatred. In the world of geekness, there are few things held at higher levels in fiction than Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter. To butcher a couple of the most important lines and the characters normally associated with them is a true abomination. Here’s the other: …
We all wish to be a ninja, even if it was a mutant turtle version of the kind. …
Wow, if you have yet to see this teenage boy profess his love for some girl named Emily, you need to watch it and then watch it again. At first, if you are honest, it makes you want to laugh as he quietly sings “Everything I Do, I Do for You”, sung originally by Canadian singer, Bryan Adams, and as the transitions oddly switch, you may throw a chuckle or two with a possible snort. But as the video progresses and you get past the electric “pretend playing” guitar, you will see just how much this little boy cares for a girl. You will suddenly remember being that age and feeling what he feels, since at one…
There are certain financial events that seem to happen online instantaneously. When we buy something with a credit or debit card, it comes out of our balance immediately. When we purchase something with PayPal, it comes out of our balance within minutes. When we wire cash from one account to another, it takes no time at all. The question in this week’s Joy of Tech asks a good question. The only thing better than the question is the answer. RIP. …
And just like that, he’s gone. In an unfortunate April Fool’s Day misunderstanding, Conan O’Brien did not buy Mashable from Pete Cashmore for $3500. Instead, he purchased a M.A.S.H. television show fan site. Before he did, he was able to come up with a new way for peopel to Tweet: Here is his resignation from a site that he never actually worked for: …
Speed is relative. Internet speed is extremely relative, which is why Verizon has been touting the impressive speeds that their network is providing to users. The problem is that they may not be spreading the message as well as they would if they simply came out and gave us real numbers. That’s been the complaint about their advertising for a while now, and Saturday Night Live is right there to express our concerns. How much faster is it than 3G? Where is the network strong and where is it still being developed? These questions and others are beautifully dodged by the SNL team in their recent satirical…
If you ask older people today, many would use phrases of disappointment akin to “weeping for the future” or “I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.” The perception of the future for the younger generation isn’t much different; cynicism is strong and our future doesn’t seem as bright as it once did. There is, however, a concept that may or may not be true but should make us smile nonetheless. From Reddit, here’s a vision of 2057 that appears closer to reality than most others we’ve seen lately. (H/T: La Canada Audi)…
Last month, reports started circulating that Apple had lost another iPhone prototype in a bar. This time, it was an iPhone 5, the highly-anticipated next smartphone in the iPhone line. Comedian Conan O’Brien and his team put together a skit about Apple’s “response” to the person or people who currently have possession of the device. It is done very well in proper Apple video advertising style, only with the necessary injections of O’Brien humor. …
Technophopia is not the fear of old dance music. It’s the fear of anything using advanced technologies, particularly computers. It’s not a huge problem – 85%-90% of people taking on a new job have some degree of technophopia – but it’s definitely something that shouldn’t be flamed or even encouraged… …except in this case. We’re still trying to find the origin and context, but it’s enough to make us laugh for now. …
It seems like there are two things without limits: Mark Malkoff’s ability to pull of crazy stunts in New York and Apple’s willingness to accept their customers in any form and with any pets. Such was the case earlier this week when Malkoff added to his colorful resume of stunts with 4 impressive tests of New York City Apple Stores’ patience. “Recently I have noticed that the Apple Store allows customers to things you could never do in any other big brand name store,” Markoff said. He started off simply by having a pizza delivered to the Apple store. They allowed him to take delivery and eat it at the store….
We can dream, right? This video of unknown origin (comment if you know, please) presents a not-so-unrealistic view of what the toilet of the future may look like and how it may operate. Granted, it’s unlikely that you’ll be brewing a cappuccino or grilling a panini from the throne, but having everything relatively automated is simply not too much to ask. As ICanHasInternets puts it, “It’s fake, but nothing about it is impossible. Funny, maybe, but not impossible.” I couldn’t have said it better myself. …
